2019 Big Beers Belgians & Barleywines Reveals All-Star Brewery List

While many may still be recouping from another successful Great American Beer Festival, or perhaps gearing up for Shelton Brother’s The Festival this weekend, it’s about time to hop back on the hype train for another one of Colorado’s most highly regarded beer events.

Big Beers, Belgians, and Barleywines is now entering its 19th year and continues to shine brighter each and every year. This year’s Big Beers weekend will span January 10-12 in Breckenridge, CO.
